I am unable to place a trade due to an error message

Overview:

If you receive an error message when trying to place a trade, there are a few common causes and steps you can take to resolve the issue.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Check your trading status

Make sure your trading status is active. If it has been turned off, you won't be able to place trades until it's reactivated.

To reactivate your trading status, you may need to complete some forms. Please contact our support team for assistance.

2. Technical errors

If your trading status is active but you're still seeing a technical error, please contact our support team for help resolving the issue.

3. Macquarie staff members

Please email the PTA Clearance Approval Email to support@belldurect.com.au and call us on 1300 786 199 to complete the verification process and place the order over the phone at internet rates.
